Chapter 1: Encounter
Xu Mo’s career is not good. He is the underground lover of the financial president of H City, or because he looks like the white moonlight in the president’s heart, he came to be a stand-in.
As a lover, Xu Mo is probably unqualified. He doesn’t know how to please Qin Yiming, the gold master. However, he heard from the maid in the villa that Qin Yiming had already changed many lovers, but he was the only one who stayed the longest.
Well! Probably because his face looks like the white moonlight in Qin Yiming’s heart. Once, President Qin went out for a party and came back drunk. He kept grabbing a photo and crying, and hugged Xu Mo and called him (XM) by another man’s name.
Xu Mo secretly glanced at the person on the photo. It was an elegant young man wearing glasses with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Which is not like a person like himself (XM) who has never read any books.
Speaking of which, Xu Mo is still a little sad. He used to have a happy family. Unfortunately, when he was a freshman in high school, his father became addicted to drugs, lost all the money in the family, and finally died of a drug overdose. Xu Mo’s mother couldn’t stand it, so she remarried and went to another city with her new husband.
Xu Mo was left as a pitiful person. The key point was that his father still owed a lot of money to others. The IOUs were placed in front of Xu Mo, which made him feel dizzy.
Asking the neighbors to buy the house to pay off the debt, Xu Mo dropped out of school and went to work in the economically developed city H with his meager luggage.
Xu Mo, who had just arrived in H City, was a little overwhelmed. He was only 17 years old at the time, and many places were unwilling to hire him. Ahl-Shui, the old grandfather amd owner of a dumpling shop, just wanted to hire an apprentice, so he reluctantly accepted Xu Mo.
Ah-Shui is getting old, he has no children, and he is a little powerless to work on the dumpling shop by himself. He was satisfied that he had recruited Xu Mo, an apprentice, to work there. Although he didn’t say anything, he actually liked Xu Mo very much in his heart. When he met everyone, he praised Xu Mo for being honest and diligent, which made Xu Mo feel a little embarrassed.
Later, Xu Mo worked in the dumpling shop for a few years. After Ah-Shui died, he left the shop to Xu Mo. Apart from making dumplings, Xu Mo, who didn’t know what else he could do, kept running the “Ah-Shui Dumpling Shop”.
When he met Qin Yiming, it happened to be Xu Mo’s 21st birthday. He originally wanted to close the store earlier and planned to go home to the cake shop next to him to buy himself a small cake to celebrate his birthday. In the end, he met Qin Yiming, a guest. The other party’s facial features were very handsome, tall and tall. He was wearing a silver suit and looked like a business elite.
Xu Mo didn’t know that the guest at that time was Qin Yiming, the financial president of H City.
As he usually entertained guests, he stepped forward and asked, “May I ask what kind of dumplings do you want? Do you want to take them away or eat them in the store?”
“Wen…qing…don’t leave me…” Qin Yiming was a little drunk. He looked at the person in front of him and mistook him for his own white moonlight.
After listening to Qin Yiming’s words, he (XM) smelled a strong smell of alcohol again when he (XM) approached the other party. Xu Mo smiled helplessly. It turned out that the guest was drunk and regarded him as someone else.
“Where is your home? Should I call your family to come and pick you up?” Seeing that the other party was good looking, Xu Mo politely asked Qin Yiming what to do.
“Don’t go back…don’t try to leave me…” Qin Yiming was afraid that Wen Qing in front of him would disappear, so he stepped forward and hugged him tightly to death and was unwilling to let go.
Xu Mo was a little stunned for a while, but he was actually hugged by a big man. Forget it, maybe this guest fell out of love… Later, Xu Mo had to take Qin Yiming to his house and let Qin Yiming stay overnight.
The rental house is not big, Xu Mo’s house only has one bed, and the two of them slept together at night.
The next morning, Qin Yiming woke up first. The consequence of a hangover was a headache. He rubbed his temples and looked around before realizing that this was not his home. He vaguely remembered what happened last night. He seemed to have entered a dumpling shop, and then pestered the owner of the shop… Damn, how could this be?
Qin Yiming looked at the unfamiliar young man next to him who had not woken up yet. The other party looked very young and his skin was white, like someone who had not been in the sun for many years. The most important thing is that he looks like Wen Qing when he was high school, especially his profile…
After a while, Xu Mo woke up. He first picked up the alarm clock next to him to see that it was exactly seven in the morning. After some time, he had to prepare the ingredients and go to the dumpling shop to open for business.
He immediately got up and changed his clothes. He turned to the guest on the bed and said, “Hello! My name is Xu Mo, and I’m the owner of Ah-Shui Dumpling Shop.”
“Thank you for taking care of me last night. This is my business card. “Qin Yiming took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Xu Mo.
Looking at the name and position on the business card, Xu Mo was a little surprised, no matter how much he didn’t care about the outside world, he still read the newspapers often, and often saw Qin Yiming’s name in the newspapers…
“Mr. Qin, if you are in a hurry, go ahead! Go get busy! I’m going out later.” Xu Mo put away the business card, indicating that he had something to do later.
“Xu Mo, can you cook me a bowl of dumplings? I’ll pay.” Qin Yiming got dressed and came over to ask the other party.
There is money to be made, so Xu Mo is naturally happy. He replied ok, then went out and took out the dumplings that had been prepared in the refrigerator and put them into the pot to cook.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Qin Yiming glanced at Xu Mo in the kitchen intentionally or unintentionally. The appearance and personality of the young man seemed to suit his taste. There are no women’s items in the narrow house, it seems that there should be no girlfriend, which means that Xu Mo is single, so he can pursue the other party unscrupulously.
(T/N: THIS FCKING—!!!)
After some time, seeing that the dumplings were cooked, Xu Mo picked up the spoon and fished out the dumplings.
“The dumplings are ready.” He brought the dumplings to Qin Yiming.
Qin Yiming nodded, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of a dumpling. It tasted pretty good.
“How does it taste? Is it delicious?” Xu Mo looked at the other eagerly. These are the dumplings he made yesterday, with mushrooms and pork stuffing in them. This is a recipe he has never tested before. He plans to make new dumplings in the future and add this flavored dumpling to the store’s menu.
Qin Yiming looked at the other party’s appearance and couldn’t help but praise, “It’s delicious!”
When Qin Yiming left, he put two hundred yuan on the table in the living room. Xu Mo packed up the bowl and came over to see the money on the table. He rushed out and stopped Qin Yiming, “Mr. Qin, you have given too much money, and dumplings only cost seven yuan a bowl.”
“It’s okay, I like your house very much. I slept at your house last night, so you can treat it as the accommodation fee.” Qin Yiming waved his hand and left.
For this matter, Qin Yiming left a generous influence on Xu Mo. He thought they would never see each other again.
Unexpectedly, after a few days, Qin Yiming would come to his shop regularly to ask for a bowl of dumplings, and he also expressed his willingness to spend money to go to Xu Mo’s house to learn how to make dumplings. Xu Mo didn’t understand the mind of a rich man, so President Qin was free to be President Qin.
